FTV 210: Introduction to Production Practices

Section 1
Instructor: David Wing

This Spring Semester for FTV 210 started no differently than last Fall. We embraced the Covid 19 environment by going full Online once again. Students Zoomed in from such places as Phoenix, Lake Havasu, Detroit, Boston, Boulder, Huntington Beach and Ireland, to name a few. Under daunting equipment limitations, isolation and relying on family or friends, FTV 210 students came up with incredibly creative productions.

FTV 210 students took up the challenge of each given project, to produce a visionary and innovative video that represents their inspiration on the screen. I’m extremely proud of each student’s resulting accomplishment.

FTV 311A: Cinematography

Instructor: Alex Leyton

This semester’s films present a variety of insights into the human condition and it’s been great to see how these young filmmakers’ styles have emerged.

We would all like to thank
Dan Brock, Darious Britt, and all the techs at MARPL for all of their support with making our gear requests happen.
The TFTV faculty and fellow students.

“I think the point of cinematography, of what we do, is intimacy. Is intent, is the balance between the familiar and the dream, it is being subjective and objective, it is being engaged and yet standing back and noticing something that perhaps other people didn’t notice before, or celebrating something that you feel is beautiful or valid, or true or engaging in some way.”
– Christopher Doyle
